Management of user groups (old experience)
Important: We promise that there will not be any downtime during the migration process, but there may be a delay in the date when the New Admin Experience becomes available on your account. A notification email will be sent to you once the migration is complete. The new Admin Experience offers the ability to merge IM Groups with User Groups, so that they appear as Groups in the Admin experience. It is important to only follow this article if your account has not been enabled yet for the New Admin Experience. Should your account have been enabled already, follow the directions in the updated user groups article.
You have the option of managing groups of users in your account in order to turn on or off different settings for all members of that group. It is also possible to designate group admins who will be able to manage the members and settings for the group as appropriate. Group admins can also check if the group they manage is designated as the primary group for both themselves and the members of their group. It does not matter if the administrator of the group is an account administrator or has role permissions to edit user groups.
In addition to being able to toggle settings on and off, they are also able to be locked to a particular user. They can be adjusted by an individual user if they are not locked for an account or group. See the “Tierred Settings” section for more details.
As a group administrator you can also manage all the settings and members of a group. Also, the group admins can check if the group they are managing is set as the primary group for all the members of the group. In order for the group administrator to edit user groups, he or she does not need to be a member of the account administration team.
Also, you can create IM groups and assign those groups to your users in the Contacts tab of the desktop client as well as the mobile app, which displays those groups in the All Contacts tab.
